2026 Topps Knockout UFC: McGregor & Holloway Guide
UFC 329 lands on July 11 — Conor McGregor's first fight since he snapped his leg against Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021, now matched up against Max Holloway at T-Mobile Arena. Both fighters have deep checklists in 2026 Topps Knockout UFC, a hobby-only release that dropped June 26. Here's everything you need before fight week kicks off.
